I like to band my head against a wall, while configuring something? |

An old mom and pop ISP I like uses it. I heard good things about it? Did |
10 |
lots of comparisons with it and Postfix. They both seem to be pretty |
11 |
equal opinions aside? Not really sure at the moment. |

Although after the configuration was a pain. Mainly due to documentation |
14 |
being to technical and lacing a simple real world complete example. |

That means so much now. Next time I will make sure to check out |
20 |
configuration before committing to one or the other. Other factors were |
21 |
of greater concern when making the choice. Now having lost a few teeth |
22 |
installing qmail, I do not think I will switch anytime soon. |

24 |
Unless. One thing I did like about sendmail was the ability to refuse |
25 |
certain email flat out. No need for spamassassin, or clamv if you new |
26 |
how to write certain rules etc. However my sendmail.mc file was getting |
27 |
huge because of this. |
28 |
|
29 |
Not sure if qmail has better support or any or if Postfix does or is |
30 |
better. |

|
32 |
I still want to use spamassassin and clamv, but it sure would be nice to |
33 |
refuse the crap before it enters my network and wastes resources. I was |
34 |
doing it with sendmail and at times it made a major difference. |
35 |
|
36 |
So much that for the most part I have not needed spamassassin or clamv. |
